In the invigorating autumn,

With the heady fragrance of osmanthus wafting on the breeze,

A new chapter begins.

2021 freshmen, welcome to FPNU!

On the Orientation Day, Lai Hairong, secretary of the CPC Committee of FPNU, and President Liao Shenji, with other leading members of the university, visited Wumashan and Shizhushan campuses’ registration spots and freshman dormitories, to express concerns to the freshmen and teachers and students who worked for freshman arrivals, give guidance on the pandemic prevention and control, and inspect the orientation work and student enrollment.

FPNU leaders extended a warm welcome to the incoming freshmen, expressed appreciation to frontline teachers and students, and acknowledged the meticulous, thoughtful and distinctive welcome arrangements of relevant departments and schools.

At the gates and other places, FPNU leaders talked cordially with some parents who came to see their children off, briefly introduced FPNU, thanked them for trusting and understanding FPNU, and asked them to rest assured.

To ensure a safe and well-ordered freshmen registration, FPNU set up freshmen reception spots at Fuqing Railway Station, Fuqing Long-distance Bus Station (newly-built), airport shuttle bus stop in Fuqing Ruixin Hotel, and the South Gate, North Gate, Zexu dormitory area of Wumashan Campus and the gate of Shizhushan Campus, etc. In Fuzhou Changle International Airport, there was an inquiry spot for freshmen, and near the freshman dormitories, spots for various student services were in place. Faculty and student volunteers were recruited to coordinate the welcome effort in and outside campuses. Meanwhile, tailored bus services were offered to provide high-quality and thoughtful services to freshmen.

At the freshmen reception spot, with volunteers leading the way, freshmen had their hands and luggage disinfected, their temperature measured, and identity, health code and nucleic acid test report checked before entering the campus by tailored bus.

At the freshman registration spot, schools carefully decorated the booths to demonstrate the characteristics of themselves and their majors, and provided “one-stop” enrollment services for freshmen. Everything was well organized in a lively atmosphere.

At the spots of “Green Lanes” and E-Class, the university provided policy consulting services for 2021 freshmen, regarding postponement of tuition fees, student-origin-based credit loans, part-time jobs for students, national grant and medical insurance for college students, and spread financial safety knowledge and E-Class. FPNU also prepared “Gifts of Love” for freshmen from financially-challenged households.
